Butterfly - anyone watching

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

Opening sequence got pretty much all the stereotypes in...

Now boy has ear to parents bedroom door

There's a lot of positive feedback on the #butterfly tag on Twitter though.

I'm not watching but I did have a quick look at Twitter. Much gushing from the usual suspects about turning point... brave and stunning blah blah, but not much from the alternative perspective. I take this to mean that most people have opted for The Cry. Or maybe an ancient 'Allo 'Also on Yesterday.

The third rate drama feel isn't helped by the dreadful title card and awful synth soundtrack. It reminds me of S.W.A.L.K (If anyone remembers that) except Paula Mile was a much better writer.

And all he want to do is dance...

I am totally FURIOUS to hear that are portraying suicide on tv

Because boys hate dancing. I thought Billy Elliott was a turning point. Apparently not.

Didn't Jazz think they were gay in a past life? Didn't Jazz get emotional at not being accepted as gay during 'past life regression' hypnosis?

Also a girl thing obviously - his grandad needs to watch Billy Elliot with him

Only black actor so far is a bully

Lol, in the real world, those two boys would have beaten him up and the girl would have ran away/hid.

Like fuck would a sister think of her wee brother as her sister. That's one messed up family

My oldest did MJ dance lessons and loved them. Mind you, he also loved trans (music).

Clunky script alert!!

'If you're not gay, what are you?'

'When people call you He sometimes, I see you flinch'

And now the skirt to school, because of course girls couldn't possibly wear trousers.

Anyone notice the subtle change in hairstyle?

I watched a bit.

How many episodes are there?

Three episodes I think?

All the school girls wearing skirts from what I've seen. More stereotyping yeh.

Abusive father. Wee boy thinks his dad left cos of him being girly - dad said he did

Dad wrestling with his emotions in a manly way

So Max doesn't think he's gay. Wonder if he'll be attracted to men or women when he's older. I thought almost all transgirls who're diagnosed as children turn out to be attracted to men.

And sympathy vote shocker for the end, with no challenge from the mum.

I thought that we were getting to a place where boys could have dancing lessons.

And next week is all about the importance of puberty blockers.

I quite enjoyed it and thought it was quite good.
